Philosykos
Philosykos by Diptyque is an unisex eau de toilette from 1996 in the luxury price tier. It opens with fig leaf and fig, moves into coconut and green tea and dries down to cedarwood and white musk. Expect around 6 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Fig Leaf Milky, green and slightly coconut-like. The smell of shade.
- Fig Green, milky and jammy at once. One of the most interesting fruits in perfume.
Heart
- Coconut Creamy and tropical. Suncream in the best possible way.
- Green Tea Dry, slightly bitter, calm. Quiet and very easy to wear.
Dry-down
- Cedarwood Dry, pencil-shaving woodiness. Clean and structural.
- White Musk Clean, soft, laundry-like. The 'smells like nothing but better' note.
